I find English lavender makes a tidier plant. The French lavender is lovely but does seem to " explode" a bit, if you are wanting a hedge.

Yes, but which Lavender???
Or different varieties?
Some are more compact and vivid.
But they'd be ok planted now I think.

I'd leave it a while until April.

Make sure to choose bushy plants, we were sold what we were told were Hidcote, small and bushy, but they're not Hidcote and they straggle all across the path.

I would like to fill two long troughs with lavender and am wondering how soon I can plants them with small plants. I see online that I can already buy them and it would be cheaper to get smaller plants rather than wait until later and buy more expensive, established larger plants but is this a bit risky? Would they cope with the winter ok if they are quite small? Not sure of the best way to go…..
